SetHTML UrlEncoded not properly

Reply Quote

I am experiencing a problem with SetHTML:

SetHTML automatically encodes the parameter I pass in. If I pass in a URL with multiple query string, it screws up the & (See following code example). Can this be resolved?

var editor1 = document.getElementById('<%=editor1.ClientID %>');

editor1.SetHTML("<a href='http://www.test.com/track.aspx?t=e&l=fdkslfj&y=889'>test</a>");

If I go the HTML view in the cuteEditor. The output is :

Thanks,

David

Hi jclee4843,

Try properties UseSimpleAmpersand, like:

<CE:Editor ID="Editor1" runat="server" UseSimpleAmpersand="true">
</CE:Editor>

UseSimpleAmpersand

W3C recommend that all '&' in query strings be converted to & This is the only way to get a piece of HTML validated. The reason is that & is the start of an HTML entity, such as £

So this:

            
        <a href="page.aspx?var1=one&amp;var2=two">link</a> 
is valid, whereas: 
        <a href="page.aspx?var1=one&var2=two">link</a> 
isn't.

If you still want to use simple Ampersand in query strings, you can set this property to true. if you want to retrieve the CuteEditor HTML content in XHTML format, the 'UseSimpleAmpersand' property will be ignored.

Regards,

Ken

Thanks, I will try it out

For some weird reason, if I go to page.aspx?var1=one&var2=two

Request.QueryString interprets "amp;var2" as a variable
